“The services provided by ShareLife
agencies are lifesaving and life-restoring to those who regularly rely on them.
Families are working through crises and are healing. People with developmental
challenges are supported as they experience a sense of self-worth and
fulfillment in their daily activities. Seniors are living independently, with
access to the care and services they need. Refugees and new Canadians are
guided toward a stable, productive livelihood in their newfound home. Sometimes
the results are obvious and sometimes they’re invisible but, always, they make
a tangible difference.”
